   DGDreamGirl replied to magnolia3957's topic in Alabama

   I was in nursing school (to be a RN) this summer, did one clinical, and have the necessary skills to work/train to become a CNA/PCT in a hospital - I've applied to MANY job positions for CNA/PCT and got NOTHING! Most want you to be certified, and tho...

   DGDreamGirl replied to DGDreamGirl's topic in General Students

   I don't put stuff on here to mess with people... I wasn't able to volunteer before NS and I had NO CLUE what I was walking into as far as school went. If I could see how being and actual RN is compared to NS then I probably would have never posted t...

   DGDreamGirl replied to DGDreamGirl's topic in General Students

   Okay, sorry if you're "fed up" with posts like this but that's not my problem, nor the point of this thread. It's not that I "don't like cleaning up poop" - I'm mean, really... who would CHOOSE to do that? "Oh yeah! I'd LOVE to do that, let me jump ...

   DGDreamGirl replied to DGDreamGirl's topic in General Students

   If you don't like an assignment after you get a job are you going to call in sick? That's very poor work ethic. No that's not it and NO i dont have poor work ethic! If you understood what I said, you would have known that. Thanks!

   TO start off, I KNOW nursing isn't glamorous and pretty.... you will have to deal with vomit, and poop, etc. Yesterday I had my first clinical... and of course I get put on a floor where no one ideally wants to be - the GI floor (aka, the poop floor)...

9. New Nursing Student - can I do this?

   DGDreamGirl replied to DGDreamGirl's topic in General Students

   I guess I wasn't too clear? My average WAS a B, now it's like a 76% - which I'm not complaining about at all! We just have to have at least a 74.5 in order to pass at the end... and I haven't gotten ALL B's on every exam either (I think that wasn't...

12. New Nursing Student - can I do this?

    DGDreamGirl replied to DGDreamGirl's topic in General Students

    Thanks guys! I keep telling myself to take it one day at a time - it's just hard to do that because I'm so many days behind in reading, so it's like I have to take 3 days at a time (it feels like). I feel like I can't catch up... I havent read thin...

13. New Nursing Student - can I do this?

    DGDreamGirl posted a topic in General Students

    I'm half way through my first semester... and I don't know if I should withdraw from my classes (fundamentals at least) and try to start again in the fall... So far I have high B's in my classes... I've just gotten "behind" in my reading (I'm reading...

    DGDreamGirl posted a topic in General Students

    I start clinicals in about two weeks. I have to "long" tattoos on both of my forearms on the inside parts and I have a nose ring. So, my question is, how do I cover up my tattoos and what can I do for my nose ring? I got my nose pierced on May 7th ...

    DGDreamGirl posted a topic in General Students

    I start nursing school May 27th - I've worked smart and hard for this....and I'm nervous I "don't have what it takes"! I know and believe that you can do what you think you can do, and I know I can do it! I'm just kinda somewhat nervous/worried bec...
